Installation Process
Expert installation made easy.
VELUX® skylight systems and Sun Tunnel® Skylights can be installed in flat or vaulted ceilings in two worry-free phases: rooftop and interior. The pros will recommend where skylight systems should be installed, so you can reap the maximum benefit from the natural light and fresh air they provide.
Installation Types
The Room
VELUX-trained pros will come inside for interior finish work and possible painting. If you have a flat ceiling, your installer will use drywall or other finish material to build a shaft from the skylight to direct the daylight into the room. This phase takes around half a day per skylight.
The Rooftop
VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole and fasten the VELUX skylight to the roof with three layers of protection to prevent leaks. Depending on the circumstances such as roof pitch and weather, the rooftop phase can take between one and three days.
2-3+ Days Total*
The Room
VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the ceiling to install the lower portion of the reflective tube between the roof and ceiling.
The Rooftop
VELUX-trained pros will cut a hole in the roof and install the top collar, the upper portion of the reflective tunnel, the lens and the flashing.
2 Hours*
The Room
There may be a small amount of interior drywall work depending on your replacement situation, but the majority of the replacement process will take place on the roof.
The Rooftop
VELUX-trained pros will get measurements from your existing skylights to ensure your replacements are a perfect fit, then they’ll replace your skylights
1 Day Total*
*Time estimates are based on averages. Project duration varies based on its complexity.

We love our new Velux skylights. Don Campbell and his crew from Prende were professional. He assessed our old Velux skylights for the best replacement options, and got the ones we chose installed in record time. Everyone was respectful of our home and did a fantastic job with the windows and their work on the roof. The only reason you'll know they were there is the beautiful new skylights.

We are very pleased with our new skylight! Working with Don and his team was a true pleasure. Don is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He patiently explained our options and answered all questions we had. He was always very quick to respond to our messages to him, and communicated information to us in a timely manner. I can, with all confidence, wholeheartedly recommend Prende Skylights to anyone wanting a great way to improve their home. Cheers to Don, Luis, Abraham, and everyone else who helped out. Thanks!

We had 2 sun tubes installed by Prende Skylights & are very pleased with the results. Don & his crew were very professional & got the job done quickly. The areas were very dark & now no additional lighting is needed during daylight.

Colorado Springs' best-kept secret, I am glad to have come across Prende to address my home skylights.
-
Don came to my home to investigate my electric skylight which wasn't always operating with the remote control. He got up on the roof and fixed the problem at no charge. He was polite and knowledgeable. The competitor only wanted to sell me a new window with blind. I just wish Don's price was a little less for a new skylight & blind.

Thank you, Don, for your craftsmanship and standing by your work. You installed 4 skylights with sunshield solar-operated blinds - this has made a significant difference in cooling our home and looks modernized! We had the original 80s bubble skylights, so we're super happy that Don was able to replace them with professionalism and care. Buy and hire local, from folks who have their roots planted in the community they serve.

I placed an order for skylights with the intention of installing them on my own. The selection process ensured that I obtained the appropriate units for my needs.

Don was a pleasure to work with. Prende replaced 2 old, leaking skylights with new Velux units. Communicated well, showed up when they said they would, completed the job with minimum fuss, and cleaned up after themselves.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Prende Skylights and I am beyond impressed with their service. From start to finish, Don was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the installation of my new skylights. The team at Prende Skylights was incredibly helpful in helping me choose the right skylights for my needs and budget. They provided clear and detailed information about each option, making the decision-making process a breeze. Once we had chosen the perfect skylight, the installation process was quick and seamless. The team arrived on time, were polite and friendly, and worked efficiently to get the job done. They even took the time to clean up after themselves, leaving my home just as tidy as it was before they arrived. Overall, I cannot recommend Prende Skylights highly enough. Their dedication to customer service and quality workmanship is second to none, and I am so grateful to have had such a positive experience with them. If you're in need of a new skylights, look no further than Prende Skylights!
